Jim Cramer Hits an All-Time High |
In 2000, Cramer had his best year in the market — an astonishing 38 percent return — and his worst one as a human being. “Everyone was afraid for me,” he says. “My father told me I was going to die before he did — literally die — at a young age, like my mother. He was right too. I was 46, my blood pressure was off the charts, I was so weak and out of shape that I was afraid to go to the doctor.” Cramer began experiencing long bouts of anxiety, increasingly severe panic attacks and imaginary coronaries. In November he suffered a complete breakdown and went on medication to help him stay calm and fight off irrationality. To outsiders it looked as if he was walking away at the top of his game. In fact, it was a no mas moment. “Life was total misery. I had the money. I had won. All I could do now was lose.” |
